Dr. Jim Hoff serves as Research Director for the Center for Environmental Innovation in Roofing, Washington, D.C. (www.roofingcenter.org). You can contact Jim at jhoff@roofingcenter.org.
As part of the RoofPoint rating program for sustainable roofing systems, the Center has developed a unique approach to the selection of energy-efficient roof surfaces.
When we think about “sustainable” or “green,” we tend to focus on the environmental aspects of sustainability, including key natural resources of energy, air, water and materials.
The Center for Environmental Innovation in Roofing is pleased to collaborate with Roofing Contractorto provide a monthly perspective about roofing and the environment.
